If you are asking about booking an aa flight on ba, some times there are aa flights that show up later on ba but there are also aa flights that care available on aa.com but not ba.com. sometimes if you call up ba they will give you the flight but there have been times ive called and was told the flight was unavailable.

Unlikely. Do you have an example?

Plenty of sAAver flights available from ORD-NYC on 9/4/12 but nothing on ba.com I called BA and they said nothing they can do. I see there's one flight available in first class ORD-EWR for 22.5k (~16k Amex MR with bonus). Do you think it's worth it to just book the first class ticket or PUTPAC again to try to get into economy?

Dan was right, there was a PEBKAC, I was searching October

However, does anyone know what first class is like on such a short haul flight?

If Iberia shows availability, but BA doesn't, will calling BA help? And what level of availability does Iberia have to show?

I'm booking LGA-CLE via AA on BA.com. Will the $5 award ticket charge come from AA or BA? I ask because if it comes from AA, I can pay it with my Citi AA card and hopefully get a $100 statement credit.

Also, will either my Citi AA card or my BA card get me free checked bags on this flight?

You need to find a date without BA availability, include partners, and then scroll back to the date you want.
Or just PUTPAC.

anyone can help here? im pressing search 7 days forwrd and back etc...no go!

There needs to be direct availability, which there isn't, only two stops. You could book each stop separately if you wanted

but if u book a few days later with avios there is available that exact route with a stopover in DFW.

if i would make two one ways, would they combine it?

They'll check your luggage through if that's what you're asking.

If a flight is showing on AA.com from NYC-ZRH for 20k Off Peak, and return ZRH-DUS-JFK for 20k Off Peak, should it show up on BA.com? Because when I search and it asks me whether i want a stop or not, and i click no, it automatically routes me through LHR, which makes the taxes shoot through the roof...?
